The Heat added Chris Quinn as an assistant coach.

He started his career with the Heat and made 26 starts in his three seasons there. Quinn did not play in the NBA last season and only appeared in seven games back in 2012-13. Wed, Sep 17, 2014 08:41:00 PM

Quinn has been playing in the D-League with the Tulsa 66ers, and now he'll get another shot with the Cavs after Cleveland has been decimated by injuries in the backcourt. Quinn's signing for the season rather than a 10-day deal could indicate that Dion Waiters (knee) will miss extended time. Wed, Mar 20, 2013 07:44:00 AM

Quinn has been playing in the D-League with the Tulsa 66ers, and now he'll get another shot with the Cavs after Cleveland has been decimated by injuries in the backcourt. Quinn's signing for the season rather than a 10-day deal could indicate that Dion Waiters (knee) will miss extended time.

Quinn will get a training camp invite after spending last season in Russia. Despite his NBA experience, it would be surprising to see him make the team. Trey Gilder, Darnell Jackson and Brian Butch will also be in camp with Utah.

Quinn has bounced around the league and recently spent time with the Sixers during training camp. He's an adequate backup guard and is likely being used as an insurance policy while George Hill is slowed by injury.

The Heat have traded Chris Quinn to the Nets for a heavily protected 2010 second-round pick, reports ESPN's Marc Stein.

The Nets also get cash and a 2012 second-round pick in the deal, which should clear the way for the Heat to sign point guard Rafer Alston, who was bought out by the Nets recently. Quinn's not likely to have any value at all in Jersey, but Alston should take over starting duties from Carlos Arroyo once he signs with Miami, making him an automatic pickup.

Chris Quinn is point guard Mario Chalmers' main backup at point guard this season, and Pat Riley doesn't sound interested in bringing in a veteran to help at point guard.

"The only way we’re going to be able to add is to subtract," Riley said. However, there is a good chance they'll add another big man, with Shavlik Randolph's name being mentioned as a possibility. Don't get excited about Quinn, but he would have instant value if Chalmers were to go down.

Depth Charts

Shabazz Napier (hip) will not suit up for Tuesday's game vs. the Spurs, as expected.

He was doubtful heading into this one, so there shouldn't be any surprises here. Mario Chalmers will see his minutes unimpeded with Napier sidelined, but he's not a great option tonight with a tough matchup against San Antonio.

With Deng out, Henry Walker will have the opportunity for another start, with Michael Beasley and James Ennis seeing extended minutes off the bench. Dwyane Wade and Goran Dragic will run the show on offense, and both guys are worth a look in daily leagues. Walker can be viewed as a streamer option for those seeking some 3-point shooting and steals.

This is the best news of the day and Bosh sounds like he'll be ready for camp. The Heat delivered over 1,000 letters to Bosh today and it's great to see the human interest side of one of the NBA's most likable players. As for the basketball side, Bosh is likely going to be a mid-round target next season.

Josh McRoberts (knee) still isn't working with Miami's coaches and he remains out indefinitely.

McRoberts is traveling with the Heat to work with the team's training staff, but it doesn't sound like he's close to resuming on-court work. A return during the playoffs is feasible but fantasy owners can't expect any production in Miami's final nine regular-season games.

Chris Andersen (calf shoulder) and Hassan Whiteside (hand) will warmup with the intention of playing tonight, but both guys are going to be limited, so Erik Spoelstra is going to need to get creative with his rotations tonight with no truly healthy big man on the roster.

Updating a previous report, Hassan Whiteside (hand) will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's matchup with the Spurs.

Head coach Erik Spoelstra said that if Whiteside can play, it might only be for seven minutes, so he's clearly going to be limited tonight. He's not really capable of using his right hand at all, but Miami is so banged up that they could actually use a one-armed Whiteside even in just a seven-minute stretch. He's a very risky option tonight.

Chris Andersen (calf, shoulder) will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's game vs. the Spurs.

Andersen will warm up with the intention of playing tonight, and things will be very interesting for Miami if he can't play. Udonis Haslem (flu) has already been ruled out, and Hassan Whiteside (hand) will be a game-time decision, so there's a chance we see some Michael Beasley at the center spot. Tim Duncan should have any easy time scoring tonight.
